Hi,

I have 2 Axis Bank Credit Cards both cards has a merged limit of 31k.

1st credit card bill generation date is 2nd of every month.
2nd credit card
bill generation date is 13th of every month.

I know the 30% usage rule.

My question is, on 2nd of every month if my 1st card bill is less than 30% of merged overall limit
But
In my 2nd card I have used 1000 rs. till 2nd of the month.

Then in this case my 1st card usage will be counted as less than 30% or 2nd card spend will also be counted in it and it will be counted as more than 30% limit.

Please let me know.

It will be based on your credit account (with 31K limit) and not based on your individual cards as they have a combined limit. So, try to keep the overall usage lower than ~9.3K as per the 30% logic.
 
It's the overall limit that matters.

Try to keep your expenses <9.3K.

Even if you spend more try to repay before the bill generation date as Axis bank reports to Credit agencies after your statement is generated.

Which bank cards :unsure:?

- 30% rule is for people who have low credit score and what to improve it.

If your score is above 770, do not over think you can use up to 60% of the credit and it won't affect your score as long as you are paying the bill on time.
